For storage, leaving your raft, cataraft or inflatable kayak softly inflated and out of the sun is a good move. If you don't have the room, loosely roll or fold it and, again, keep it out of the sunlight. And a word of warning, some rodents love to burrow into a stored inflatable. Just about every year we hear from customers with horror stories of massive damage caused by those furry critters. Store your craft rodent-safe, or employ attack cats.

In this video, Josh from NRS Repairs gives you step-by-step instructions for cleaning and storing your inflatable.
